The Parish Council will always help to progress matters of general community concern, but before you get in touch, please make sure that the Council is responsible for the matter you wish to report.

If your problem doesn’t relate to any of the services listed above, eg, if it is a matter of a broken street light or a pothole in the road or a blocked drain, it may be that the service is provided by Bradford Metropolitan District Council.
